HEROIC — REWRITING HOLLYWOOD’S SEXISM

"JANE, 28, athletic but sexy. A natural beauty. Most days she wears jeans, and makes them look good."

This is a tweet by film producer, Ross Putnam, who collects female character descriptions from the dozens of Hollywood scripts sitting on his desk. There is an 80% chance that the screenwriter is male, based on a study on gender statistics in the film industry. There is also an 85% chance the script will go on to be directed by a man and a 78% chance it will be edited by a man.

As a result, most of the big-budget scripts are being scrutinized for their lack of gender awareness. When a writer introduces a new character in his or her story, a WOMAN is usually described by her appearance and a MAN is usually described by his behavior or career.

In honor of International Women’s Day, we compiled all of our badass female characters and made a video. The goal is to spark more conversations about the lack of opportunities for women in the film industry and move people to take action.
